​ "Some of this year’s most popular Lent sacrifices are booze, social media, and–believe it or not–DonaldTrump.But I’ve decided to go a different direction and give up saying I’m sorry for all the Christian crap out there.I was inspired in this decision by Lillian Daniel’s book, ​Tired of Apologizing for a Church I Don’t Belong To.
